With Riddick (Blu-ray review) now available in stores, we've gotten hold of an imagining of our favorite Furyan's universe in an easy to use, interactive star map.

They should’ve brought more mercs to bring down Riddick.
The sci-fi “Riddick” is out on Blu-ray and DVD today. And Latino-Review has the exclusive interview with Danny Blanco Hall, one of the mercenaries from the movie.
Here’s the synopsis:
Left for dead on a sun-scorched planet, Riddick finds himself up against an alien race of predators. Activating an emergency beacon alerts two ships: one carrying a new breed of mercenary, the other captained by a man from Riddick’s past.
The David Twohy-directed movie also stars Vin Diesel, Karl Urban, Katee Sackhoff, Dave Bautista and Jordi Molla.
We discussed about the trilogy, playing a merc and the difference between doing live-action versus voicing/mo-cap in video games.
Check out the interview below.
Latino-Review: How were you approached for this project and why were you attracted to it?
Danny Blanco Hall: This was something that was mentioned to me.

Sortie 67
Directed by Bastien Jephté

Canada, 2010
It isn’t every day that you get to witness a film like Bastien Jephté’s Sortie 67 – a rough and raw film that looks into Montréal Nord / St-Michel gang fares. Montréal, a city in which crime films have generally surrounded its infamous biker wars, serves as a menacing backdrop where its citizens can only refer to it as a “jungle.” Made up of predominantly up and coming actors, Sortie 67 battles through its rawness, keeping the scale balanced although wavering at times between its oft-forced performances and genuine honesty.
We don’t have to think far back to find similarities to Jephté’s ç. In theaters worldwide, gang life has been a hot film topic and well documented. Films like John Singleton’s Boyz N the Hood marked the beginning of a new era of street films, at...
